Also, property tax collection etc. should be the work of Provincial Excise & Taxation Department. Since Cantonment Areas are part of the province and do not fall geographically outside the province's geographical boundary there is no justification of separate property tax collection. This can be done easily by extending the jurisdiction of Provincial Excise & Taxation Departments over Cantonment areas by a simple law passed by Provincial Assemblies. Military officers are also interested in getting assigned to these posts. In these circumstances the very survival of MLCG is in jeopardy and that was the very reason fresh induction was discontinued during Musharraf's era. What do you think?

The provincial control can not be extended over cantonments because technically these are designated as federal areas since military is, has been and will always be a federal subject.
